Kuala Lumpur offers an exciting and colourful buzz that is as intoxicating as the omnipresent aromas of sizzling satay and sweet incense.

In Kuala Lumpur it's all about the food and the city offers a mouth-watering mix of Asian culinary traditions. Other than the delicious food, you will find the city filled with fun and history, from shopping, nightlife, lush parks, temples to shrines.

Highlights of Kuala Lumpur include Chinatown, Little India and the Petronas Towers.  Take a scenic ride to Genting Highlands to enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding hills in one of the longest and fastest gondola lifts in Southeast Asia or soak up the fresh air in Cameron Highlands, known for the tea plantations and strawberry farms.

Flights operate on a daily basis via major cities including Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Hong Kong. The shortest route is via Singapore on Singapore Airlines. The city is located centrally in Southeast Asia, making it an ideal stopover destination or combo with other cities and islands.

Pose with peacocks, mimic the parakeets, see how you measure up next to an ostrich and have a starring contest with an owl at the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park. There is so much fun to have at the world's largest free-flight walk-in aviary.

Kuala Lumpur Tower, also known as the Menara Tower, is the seventh tallest communications tower in the world. Enjoy spectacular views of the city 423 metres above the ground at the observation deck and dine in style at the revolving restaurant.

Later, ascend 272 steps to the limestone Batu Caves Temple where the cavernous interior is home to Hindu Deities. Don't let the playful monkeys steal your food on the way up.

The country has an equatorial climate and 75% of its land is a tropical rainforest making it delightfully warm throughout the year. The monsoon winds do much to disperse the heat. In the hills, the weather is cooler.
